1 DOCTOR, MY EYE HURTS BY ADREA R. BENKOFF, M.D.
2 HISTORY OF THIS EYE PAIN CHARACTER OF PAIN What makes it feel worse? What makes it feel better? Is the pain altered by eye movement? Does the pain begin in the eye? Does the pain extend beyond the eye? Does the pain ever awaken you from sleep? Is there a diurnal pattern?
3 PAST MEDICAL HISTORY Including trauma and surgical history Have there been any facial rashes or vesicles? Have there been any facial lumps, bumps, scaly lesions or bleeding spots? History of dry eyes Contact lens wearer Glaucoma
4 REVIEW OF SYSTEMS Thyroid disease Diabetes Headaches
5 EXAMINATION Complete ophthalmologic evaluation, including inspection and evaluation of ocular adnexa
6 IS THE EYE PAINFUL RIGHT NOW? Is the eye tender? Is there periorbital discoloration, asymmetry or edema? Is there conjunctival injection or chemosis? Does the pain vary with opening/closing the eye? Is the pain varied on eye movement?
7 IS THE EYE PAINFUL RIGHT NOW? Is eye movement limited? Is the sensation to light touch, in the distribution of V-1, V-2 and V-3 normal? Is the pain reduced with instillation of a topical anesthetic? Is facial musculature normal and symmetric in strength?
8 INNERVATION OF THE EYE Cornea and Sclera-extensive network of sensory nerves Conjunctiva-minimal nerve supply causes mild pain when irritated Choroid and Iris-small network of sensory nerves Ciliary Body-rich sensory supply Retina and Optic Nerve-ocular structures responsible for sensation of light are devoid of pain sense
9 ANATOMICAL APPROACH TO DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
10 THE SURFACE OF THE EYE Anterior surface of the cornea Innervated by the nasociliary branch of V-1 Most free nerve endings per mg of tissue in the body Disruption of the corneal epithelium or stimulation of the nerve endings causes significant pain: History of foreign body exposure or being struck in the eye Recurrent Erosion Syndrome Most painful when a patient wakes up and then improves throughout the day.
11 CORNEAL ABRASION
12 METALLIC FOREIGN BODY
13 Dry Eye Syndrome Testing with TBUT and Shirmer Bilaterally symmetric process Any age, women more commonly Aching, pressure, pulling-retrobulbar Photophobia, tearing, blurring Worsened by wind, heat, reading, computer May not improve with anesthetic Most common cause of eye pain
14 KERATITIS SICCA
15 Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Caused by varicella-zoster virus that remained dormant in the sensory neural ganglia Pain that is out of proportion to the physical examination Vesicular lesions around the lids and tip of nose History of previous attack of shingles Thyroid Disease Bulging of the eyes or eyelid retraction Dry eye syndrome
16 THYROID EYE DISEASE
17 HERPES ZOSTER OPHTHALMICUS
18 Bacterial, Viral and Fungal Keratitis Causes pain but patients typically have accompanying symptoms Acanthamoeba Keratitis Very painful, misdiagnosed as bacterial or viral keratitis Scleritis and Episcleritis Pain is localized to the eye with episcleritis Scleritis exhibits severe boring pain that radiates to the temple, the jaw and the sinuses Severe enough to prevent sleep Pain is caused by distention of sensory nerve endings as a result of edema. In necrotizing disease, the severity of the pain is increased by the destruction of the nerve endings that takes place
19 HERPES SIMPLEX KERATITIS
20 EPISCLERITIS
21 INTRAOCULAR CAUSES Glaucoma Very high intraocular pressure Intermittent angle-closure glaucoma Intermittent pain Uveitis Toothache like pain Posner-Schlossman Syndrome Inflammation of the trabecular meshwork Quiet eye, no redness, but Very high intraocular pressure
22 ANTERIOR UVEITIS
23 Giant Cell Arteritis Most common systemic vasculitis in Western countries Patients age 50 and older Headache with jaw claudication, anorexia and malaise Temporal artery tenderness, pulseless artery, scalp tenderness, fever, weight loss Sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein If left untreated, patients could experience visual loss (ischemic optic neuropathy), cardiac events or stroke
24 HEADACHE SYNDROMES While not an eye condition, are a significant source of eye pain 3 Most common: Migraine Tension Cluster
25 Migraine Most common disorder in these syndromes 20% of women and 10% of men Causes pain in the eye or orbit and they can occur with or without aura Associated with: light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, throbbing pain and nausea Totally normal eye exam Cluster Occurs directly over the eye, More common in men Associated Horner s Syndrome during and in between attacks Excruciating eye pain, tearing, stuffiness of the nose, lid swelling and conjunctival redness
26 Hemicrania and Paroxysmal Hemicrania Most often seen in middle-aged women Attacks occur 5-40 times per day, each attack lasts between 2-45 minutes Can cause continuous pain around face and eye Primary Trochlear Headache (Trochleitis) Tenderness in superonasal orbit with elevation due to a tendonitis of the superior oblique muscle Periorbital/hemicranial pain Chronic with exacerbations Triggering or worsening migraine headaches in patients with pre-existing migraines
27 OTHER NEUROLOGIC CAUSES Trigeminal nerve disorders Problems in the head can manifest as pain in the eye First division of the trigeminal system innervates the eyes AND is responsible for all of the pain in the cranial cavity, including the dural vessels and the meninges that cover the brain Other nuclei go down into the cervical system C1 and C2 and can have eye pain with problems of the cervical cranial junction
28 Trigeminal Neuralgia Older, women more common Paroxysmal episodes of excruciating pain Lasts less than 1 minute Several times a day Trigger points: brushing hair or teeth, chewing, talking Cervicogenic Eye Pain Occurs from pain referred from the neck and perceived in one or more regions of the head or face Non-excruciating, long lasting boring pain Unilateral Pressure over the occipital protuberance reproduces the pain
29 Post LASIK Eye Pain Incomplete nerve regrowth after LASIK surgery Pt. Complains of dry-eye symptoms but no objective clinical signs observed Extra sensitive nerve endings due to abnormal receptive fields in the peripheral and central trigeminal nerve
30 INTRAORBITAL CAUSES Optic Neuritis Orbital Myositis Orbital Inflammatory Pseudotumor Dacryoadenitis Canaliculitis Dacrocystitis
31 Optic Neuritis 92% of pts. Experienced pain on movement of the affected eye which preceded visual loss in 40% of cases Pain is caused by stretching of inflamed dural sheath of the optic nerve Most common etiology is Multiple Sclerosis 20-30% of the time optic neuritis is the presenting sign of MS Young adults years old, female predominance Orbital Myositis Pain is due to inflamed blood vessels particularly over the muscles Inflammation of EOM affecting one or both eyes Severe pain, restricted movement, lid swelling and photophobia
32 OPTIC NEURITIS
33 Orbital Inflammatory Pseudotumor Certain orbital inflammations can look like tumors and are therefore called orbital pseudotumor Affects pts. less than 50 years old Pain is one of the most common characteristics of this disease Proptosis, restricted eye movement, orbital edema
34 ORBITAL PSEUDOTUMOR
35 EXTRAORBITAL CAUSES Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistula Abnormal connection between the blood vessels that take blood to and from the brain: Internal Carotid Artery, External Carotid Artery, Cavernous Sinus Pain and bulging of the eye due to dilation of the veins draining the eye Facial pain in the distribution of the first division of the Trigeminal Nerve (V1) Red eye, diplopia, decrease vision, buzzing in the ears Cause: 75% cerebral trauma, 25% middle aged to elderly women with HTN and atherosclerosis
36 Sinus Disease Cerebral AVM or Aneurysm Increased Intracranial Pressure Pituitary Adenoma Tumor bleeds into itself (Pituitary Apoplexy) and presents with pain initially without the classic symptoms of double vision and bitemporal visual field defect
37 IS IT SERIOUS? Although isolated ocular pain can be difficult to diagnose, it is often not serious and is easily treated. With normal eye exam, no history of headache syndrome and no other findings the chance of it being something bad is extremely low. WORRY ABOUT: Elderly people who might have Giant Cell Arteritis Patients who have neuropathic pain
38 CASE STUDIES
